and also there's a great Ipod app called hiragana pixel party. Helped my brother out a helluva lot

Hiragana is a 2 out of 10, honestly. And katakana is a 4. Both in terms of learning it. Both are similar except katakana characters are not as 'curly' lol and some characters are very similar such as ン and ソ('n' and 'so' respectively).

Awesome. Yeah I just found kanji fun to learn, and also better since most things are in kanji, and hiragana katakana don't take too long, although knowing them obviously helps loads with speaking.

The 'Genki' series.Used to have a proper teacher but, now that she's left,two friends and I are attempting to learn it for AS with a different teacher (who is a supply teacher) that gives us exercises to do.
